Orly Aviv

Orly Aviv is an Israeli Digital Artist whose diverse work incorporates a number of different media: photography, video, installation, sculpture and sounds. Her artistic approach evokes meditative thoughts on time and duration, and place and space. Orly Aviv draws inspiration from seascape, nature and urban landscape.

Dealing with themes of the ocean, ecology and sustainability, Orly works according to the ancient Aboriginal belief that one’s spirit remains eternally imprinted in nature, which is why she doesn’t work on a set or use props; she photographs her imaginative, artistic and emotional vision as it appears in nature. Finding symbolism for her messages of optimism, energetic engagement, and individualism, Orly is drawn to nature because it is the most accessible, but often forgotten or degraded, tool to available to all of us. As a mathematician, computer scientist, brain researcher and an artist, Orly attempts to convey these important messages using the most innovative editing and photo manipulation techniques, allowing her to convey the deep and primal messages of nature in striking, visceral images.

Aviv

Aviv (Hebrew: אביב‎) is a word that has several similar meanings in Hebrew. It is also used as a given name and surname.

Meanings

The basic meaning of the word aviv is the stage in the growth of grain when the seeds have reached full size and are filling with starch, but have not dried yet. During the plague of hail (Exodus 9:31), the barley was said to be aviv and the flax giv`ol.

The month in the Hebrew calendar when the barley has reached or passed this stage (Exodus 13:4; 23:15) is called Aviv, or the "month of the aviv": the seventh of the Jewish civil year, and the first of the Biblical ecclesiastical year. It begins about the time of the Northern spring equinox (March 21). Since the Babylonian captivity, this month has mainly been called Nisan (Nehemiah 2:1, Esther 3:7). On the sixteenth day of the month, harvest was begun by gathering a sheaf of barley, which was offered as a sacrifice to God (Lev 23:4-11), when the Temple in Jerusalem existed.

"Aviv" accordingly also means spring, one of the four seasons. Thus the major modern Israeli city of Tel Aviv means "Spring Hill".
